If I could change anything in my society/community, I would change...

It amazing me how many people today lack the ability to care about the world around them. On your commute to school you might see a girl doing their makeup in the mirror while swerving, and someone else fully turned around reaching into their back seat to grab something unimportant while completely forgetting to look at the road in front of them. But the human capacity to overlook major threats and aspects of society is not just limited to driving, no. every day as a Santa Cruz local I witness blunt ignorance and defiance of all things smart. I have seen police officers down town giving homeless peoples tickets for having their bikes on the side walk. How do you expect a homeless person to pay a ticket? Society in my opinion really needs to look at its own self destructive nature, and figure out how to break the cycle. Why do we no longer help people acquire a home and a steady job after getting out of prison? The truth of the matter is, the government needs to stop being controlled by “major money” and needs to start thinking about the bigger picture. What good will your money be if our planet is destroyed? Our over populated planet will not put up with our disrespect and neglect forever. If I could change one thing about our world, it would be the way that humans view their mother earth. If every human had a universal respect for the earth, not only would it unite people, but our source of life would be around for much longer and thrive with us taking care of it.

The fact of the matter is, we know very little about our ocean. So we dump our waist there. We know very little about the vast outer space. So we dump more of our waist there. I hate human blatant disregard for anything that they can’t control or aren’t fully accustomed too. It is ignorant to think that we are the only living things like us in our universe. What will more respectful “beings” think of us when they see all the trash we mindlessly have been dumping for years? What will they think when they see the huge floating mass of trash the size of Texas floating in the ocean? What would you think if you saw jersey shore and knew nothing about the kind, loving, caring aspect of human nature? I believe that what we have been brainwashing the average person with is very dangerous to our future. Not just in a self-destructive kind of way. I believe that the radio waves, TV shows, and trash we send out into space may cause us to accumulate a great deal of enemies, not just earthy enemies. Why human sare not ashamed of what we have become as a whole? One word: money.
